6. Elizabeth Warren for Treasury Secretary!

What say you - are you with me?

[nashville_brook]

7. that is brilliant! hell yeah, i'm with you!

[Jack Rabbit]

10. The motion is seconded

Big business isn't legitimate business in the country. It is a racket and those who were part of the racket, like Geithner and Summers, aren't going to do anything to clean it up.

President Obama should replace the Wall Street gang with a team committed to protecting Americans from Wall Street. Elizabeth Warren is somebody who can be seen as part of that team.

[Hulk]

3. These are two bright and articulate people...

WHY can't their voices be heard in Washington?

Honest to God...and I'm not being my cynical, sarcastic self...but being as honest as I can....we have some real dumb asses, low mental capacity types in Washington (eg gohmer, miller, liverwurst, etc.) These idiots are no smarter or articulate than I am. I'm ASHAMED of many in Congress. HOW in God's name did they ever get to be elected to such a powerful position.

We really are a nation of f*cking morons!

[cilla4progress]

5. They aren't dumb...

Just incredibly greedy swine.

[irislake]

8. It sometimes seems so.

9. But look who we have in charge in my country.

A Bush clone.

14. So.... who is in control here? If the congressional oversight commitee has no

say in how the money is spent, and the POTUS seems to have no say in it, then who is calling the shots?

[sattahipdeep]

29. Thieves

ROBERT SCHEER: I voted for this president. I even contributed money that I didn’t have to his campaign. You know, I still feel great that he’s the President. You know, I’m biased. I like the guy, you know. I like everything about him.

AMY GOODMAN: Yet you ask, where’s the community-organizer-in-chief?

ROBERT SCHEER: I am appalled. This is not a minor criticism. I think the guy is betraying—betraying—his own presidency, the promise of his presidency, because he has taken these thieves—and I use the word advisedly. You know, I think people like Lawrence Summers, who pay themselves—you know, maybe he’s not legally a thief, but, you know, a guy who pays himself, or gets paid from hedge funds and other people, $15 million in ’08, while he’s advising Obama about the economy. And he’s the guy who, more than anyone else, when he was Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton administration, pushed through the radical deregulation that allowed these businesses to get in all this trouble and refused to regulate derivatives and all that sort of thing. And then these guys are made the head of the—what? They’re going to save us now?

And so, you have the one I attack, particularly, Neal Wolin, who was the general counsel of Hartford, but before that he’d been the general counsel to the Treasury Department, he’s now Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, and he’s the guy that pushed through the reversal of Glass-Steagall. He wrote the actual words in, you know, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. And now he’s our deputy.

22. Obama is not lost on this

he is owned by Wall Street, plan & simple. They put him in power & control him.

If this huckleberry was running the show, I'd fire Timmy G & put Elizabeth Warren in as Tres Sec.

[democracy1st]

19. K & R I can't believe how lost the Pres is on this

[Divine Discontent]

23. speaking of the economy

I see some of these retailers, and tourist companies actions and it makes me think that they're doing a money grab right now, because they don't see a very promising future in early '10. Things I've never seen before that just make you go wow, they're desperate for your money!

I think we need to keep on the White House and keep writing the president.

[ChiciB1]

24. I REALLY Love Dylan Ratigan's Show & Elizabeth HAS ALWAYS Had

her "eye on the ball" and I respect her so much! I have come to see Ratigan MUCH MORE for the people than so so many others in Congress AND people in D.C.

I just can't say enough good things about how he's pointing our some very CRUCIAL issues... it seems like all the time! He sure doesn't like Geithner (mostly) and Summers either!

You go Dylan!!!

25. Campaign Contributors

In the last presidential election, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and J.P Morgan Chase were among the the top five cash cows for both campaigns. Goldman Sachs was number two for Obama and number four for McCain. Top dog for McCain was Merril Lynch. Twelve of the top twenty for McCain were banks. Obama had a more diversified corporate portfolio with only five banks in the top twenty. Interestingly, the number one contributor to Obama was the University of California's PAC. :think:

31. Yep. I read that somewhere as well. They turned the election into

nothing more than Coke vs. Pepsi. When will we start to take up real election reform as an issue?

33. It's pretty clear that Eliz. Warren's committee and the WH have different agendas...

Obama is no dummy - all he has to do is listen to her once to know what's going on.

Yet he has proposed giving the Fed MORE power. WTF?
